Anti Virus Daemon does not start from time to time

Ickis

Hi there!

I have Sophos Anti Virus 8 running for about 2 weeks, and I regognize done strange thing: From time to time the background scan process is not started after booting my Mac. When this happens I get an error message that tells me that ant ivirus has not been started. This happens a few minutes after login.

I can avoid this by waiting for about one minute at the login screen until I really log in, but this is crap. Anyone else with this problem, and maybe someone with a solution?

Regards,

Marcus

    I tried installing Sophos on our two iMacs two days ago.  Upon logging back on to each the next day, Sophos anti-virus was not running on either machine.  (Version 8.0.2)  It did not show on the Activity Console either, and I was unable to get it to run.  Tried logging off and logging back on again.  No error messages, just no Sophos process and no Sophos shield in the menu bar.  So I uninstalled on the first iMac, since a non-running antivirus program seems of little use. When I logged back onto the second iMac to uninstall, the Sophos shield appeared this time, but I uninstalled anyhow.

    Running latest OS X Lion release on both.
